 * It can take 3-4 minutes for my folders to populate. I have searched thread for
   solutions but have not found magic trick to resolve for me. Not using pro yet,
   would buy in a heartbeat if I thought it would fix but don’t want to spend the
   money if I need to dump plug-in. Please help.

 * You can optimize you database using a plugin such as Advanced Database Cleaner;
   but make a backup of your database first. For the folder tree to load it has 
   to query the database for all the folders and then load them into the folder 
   tree. You may have a lot of not image folders in your upload directory that were
   placed there by different plugins. You can hide these folders which will remove
   them and their files from the folder tree/media library and then you will have
   fewer folders to load. To do this, right click one of these folders (CTRL click
   on a Mac) and select ‘Hide this folder?’ This will remove the folder from the
   folder tree data including all its subfolders but they still will remain on the
   server.
